Install ttfx on Omarchy
ttfx is a single static binary that applies flashy visual effects, such as matrix-style rain, decryption reveals, fireworks, and waves, to text piped into it, for example `ls -la | ttfx decrypt`. It is a Rust rewrite of the Python TerminalTextEffects project, built for speed: it starts in under a millisecond and reportedly runs over 27 times faster than the original, so it is practical to drop into everyday shell pipelines rather than just for one-off demos.
